Why Bitcoin Wins on Key Store-of-Value Properties
Fixed Supply
Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist.
This is enforced mathematically, not by policy. No central bank can create more.
Portability
You can send $1 million in Bitcoin to anyone in the world in under an hour.
Try doing that with gold.
Self-Custody
With Bitcoin in a self-custody wallet, no government or institution can seize or freeze your holdings without your cooperation.
Verifiability
Anyone can verify the supply and their own holdings on the public blockchain.
No trust required.
The Canadian Case
Canada's dollar has lost significant purchasing power over decades. Bitcoin's price history, despite volatility, has trended dramatically upward over every 4+ year period since inception.
For Canadian investors seeking a portion of savings with zero inflation risk, Bitcoin's fixed supply is the core argument.
